Having qualified for Finals in first place, the 21-year-old Scot held top spot from the first run of the Finals competition.
The rest of the field was unable to overhaul her score of 80.62, as Canadians Megan Oldham and Elena Gaskell took second a third spot with scores of 73.02 and 72.90 respectively.
Muir’s winning run featured a well put together sequence including her right-side double cork 1080, left-side 720, and closed out with a front-side 630 out.
The result marks a seventh career World Cup podium and third victory for Muir, as well as a second podium of the 2025/26 season, following a gold medal winning performance at the Secret Garden.

“I’m just very stoked, stoked with how I’m skiing,” said Kirsty.
“Conditions were slightly tough today, so we just managed to get through it.
“I’m just really enjoying myself, enjoying how I’m skiing at the moment – so everything’s really good.”
“Kirsty has faced her fair share of adversity this winner,” said GB Snowsport Freeski Head Coach, Jamie Mathew.
“From winning her first Big Air in December to then breaking her thumb the week after, today’s win shows her strength of character to continually show up and give it her best.
“I couldn’t be happier for her today, wins are always hard fought, so it’s amazing she’s walked away with something to show for the continued hard work and dedication.”
